Eastfield College is proud to offer the Journeyman Brewer Education Program!
This is an educational program tailored to the needs of Micro, Craft and Industrial Brewing personnel working within the production side of the brewing industry. This program will teach basic understanding in all aspects of the brewing process including machinery and equipment for packaging. It will provide the students with essential knowledge of the raw material used in the brewing process and it will educate the students in technical and technological aspects of the entire brewing process.This course will also include an introduction to basic quality control analysis.
This course includes a two-week practical brewing Internship at a local brewery where the students will be immersed into the day-to-day brewery operations.
After passing a final examination the successful student will be highly qualified for a responsible brewer position within the brewing industry. This course is also ideal for passionate home-brewers who seek to get their foot into the door of professional brewing at the same time remaining relevant to current brewery personnel.
With support from more then a dozen local breweries, we’ve created a hands-on program that will equip brewery personnel with the skills needed to meet the needs of the craft beer industry.
